Have you ever attempted to use fragrance lamps in your home? If you enjoy a clean and fresh environment or like an aroma of fragrance in the air, Sophia’s Fragrance Lamps and Oils are just for you! They’re not only sweet-smelling, but they’re also beautifully decorative pieces and brilliant accessories to have out on display.
What are fragrance lamps?
Fragrance lamps are uniquely designed lamps that effuse the scent into your home. The concept of fragrance lamps has been around for a long time – they were first created back in 1898 to disinfect the air in hospitals – and are now being used in homes across the world.
The lamps work via a method called diffusion by catalytic combustion. It sounds complex; however, in reality, it simply means that the catalytic burner cleverly traps the molecules in the air that carry pungent odors, purifies the air, and then releases scent into it.
All this happens under the decorative cap that sits on the fragrance lamp’s top, where there’s a particular stone or wick. The fragrance is added to the lamp, and then the stone wick is lit. After a few minutes, the flame is extinguished, the cap is replaced, and the magic starts to happen! Although the flame is put out, the stone wick continues to act as a heated burner, extracting the oil up through the wick, decontaminating the air, and releasing it back with your choice of scent.
To guarantee your fragrance lamp works as advertised, you’ll need to use specifically designed lamp fragrances – essential oils or other diffuser oils will not work as well with fragrance lamps.
Lamp fragrances are produced using distilled water, isopropyl alcohol (the same type of alcohol commonly found in anti-bacterial hand washes), and perfumes. It’s the element of alcohol that is essential and ensures the catalytic combustion process works efficiently.

Gorgeous design fragrance lamps for use in your home
The nature and design of fragrance lamps make them ideal to use in your home to get rid of funky cooking, and pet smells and keep the house fresh and fragrant.
Although there is a component of a heated burner in a fragrance lamp, it is effectively a flameless method that can be left unattended on a heatproof surface. The heated part is also covered and out of reach. If you’re not a fan of having lit candles in your home for safety reasons, then this could offer a more practical solution.
In comparison to air fresheners and room sprays, which tend to mask odors, fragrance lamps are more effective as they decontaminate and purify the air. Additionally, thanks to the stone wick and the diffuser, the fragrance is released at a gradual and controlled rate.
Furthermore, there are some very intricately crafted fragrance lamp designs available in a variety of colors and styles, so you’re likely to find a design that matches your décor.
You’ll also find a wide array of fragrance oil scents available, including:
- Floral scents such as Lavender and Freesia
- Natural fragrances such as English Ivy and Eucalyptus
- Fruity scents such as Winterberry, Pomegranate, and Sweet Blueberry
- Food and drink inspired scents such as Santa’s Cookies and Pumpkin Spice.
- Freshening scents such as Ocean Breeze, Fresh Breeze, Angel Wings, and Egyptian Musk.
- Some fragrance lamps are sold in gift sets with oils included, or you can purchase the lamps and fragrances independently so you can choose your preferred aromas.
